Justin, an Ohio native and 13 year San Diego resident, has over 15 years of insurance experience. Justin's expertise comes first as a healthcare claims specialist after obtaining his Master's Degree from The Ohio State University and later as a designer of artificial intelligence solutions for claim servicing. Most recently his role has expanded as an advisor to his wife's real estate clients. Justin was dissatisfied with the coverage he had obtained for his own home prompting him to obtain his license as an insurance agent to better protect his family from catastrophic loss and joining Pacific Shores Insurance Services in 2022.

Justin's unique background blends experience in insurance, technology, and property management, and he is constantly reinvesting his earnings into the latest communication and coverage identification platforms. This ensures that he never misses an opportunity to extinguish risk for his clients while keeping premiums low and allows him to respond to his clients in real-time.

In his free time, Justin enjoys surfing, traveling, and history. He is most likely to be found in front of a grill on the weekends delivering a new recipe to friends and neighbors, or regaling them with stories of his travels.
